It wouldn't be an improvement, more of a shift sideways.  ;D
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Spotted these beauties in the neighborhood:

Crack pipe pricing IMO but something about Kei cars is oddly appealing to me.

OMG between the GTV6 with the perfect engine update, and the 99 Turbo...I just cannot deal.

Chaos is about to have 1 less kideny because he needs to buy two cars...
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

You'd change your mind about the Alfa if you drove it. It's a little bit of an awkward hatchback in terms of styling, but the chassis on those cars is amazing.

I'd call it good looking. Wedgy and aggressive in a very cool 80s sort of way.  The one downside of these is the shift quality from the rear mounted gearbox. They used to be cheap but gaining real value these days.

Am I nuts?  I'd almost (maybe more than almost) rather have this...at $13,500
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/winnipeg/almost-new-fiat-turbo-abarth/1427783454?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true


Than this...
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/winnipeg/2015-ford-mustang-gt-track-package/1430932787?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true


I know I should want for the GT more...but that little Fiat, aside from it'll likely cost more to own in the long run despite being almost half the Mustang's asking $...just seems like it'd be more consistently fun more often. Be a great city car if I lived in a city.  Maybe it's because I saw one in the city a couple weekends ago and it sounded so cool.
